  Review: The Sign of the Serpent - Book #2 The Adventure of  Marisol Holmes - Majanka Verstraete - February 2019 The past few years have been anything but cruisy for Marisol Holmes as her father was killed, she fell in love with a boy only for him to turn out to be a killer and then her partner in the agency turned out to be a killer too.  During book #1 we read as Marisol's Jaguar side of her had almost disappeared, and she had been having trouble to shapeshift. Her and Ivy had been tasked in tracking down a killer only to learn that Marisol's ex-boyfriend Mannix was the one orchestrating the kills. Ivy at the end of the book ends up being one of Mannix's latest puppets. Now with the council dead at the beginning of Book # 2, the shifters must track down Mannix and Ivy and bring them to justice once and for all.

Review: A Study in Shifters - Book #1 Adventures of Marisol Holmes - Majanka Verstraete - June 2018 I have always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes and tales of YA mysteries. I love teen detective books. I loved the twist of this book where we discovered that not only was Marisol related to the great Sherlock Holmes, but she is also part jaguar and is a shapeshifter. Marisol is a half-blood and heir to the shifter throne as her mother is Duchess and the Jaguars rule the shapeshifter kingdom. After a recent mission went completely wrong and Marisol not only felt betrayed by someone she thought she loved, but she also lost her cousin and the ability to shift into a jaguar. Now to get back to the Conclave and do what she does best by solving mysteries. She must remain under supervision when she is completing her fieldwork and spy assignments. The latest one is a difficult one for her as a leopard shifter has been killed and the killer is being made to look like a ...
